Jfl BORAH & BRY IN CONFERENl Purpose to Reach Agreement World Peace Idea HARDING HAS OUTLINE Senators Do Not Believe Presi ' dent-elect Has Any Defil i Plan in Mind Washington. Dee. 22.?William" Bryan, v. ho visited Presider/t-e Hording at Marion recently, held lengthy conference today with Seiut lor liorah, of Idaho, a loader among [Republican opponents of the league <>f nations. The purpose1 of Mr. Bryan's visit here, it was staled reliably. was to i discuss possibilities of securing anJ I agreement or reaching some common iground in the- movement towards a concord <or maintenance of World peace.. Frm what eould be learned', [of his oonforeneo with Senator Borah, jit. was said that the views of Mr. Bryan and tin- i.,*< Idaho senutor hi Bryan and the Idaho senator both i were unchanged. It wn s indicated i that Senator Borah remained lmplao jable toward any arrangement involv \ ing any international alliance. . Significance was given Mr. Bryan's I call upon Senator liorah because of the former's very recent talk with Senator Harding and the former cabi j net premier's expression, after hrg Marion visit, of hopefulness for a {Solution of the world peace problem, senator Borah also discussed Uie SUb j< et with Senator Harding; for an hour , during the latter"s stop-Over hers ?arty this month. I Information obtained ir on Senators and others who have conferred with Lie president-elect is that Senator Harding has formulated in his mifd ! only the broad, general outlfn-2. of* ef? fecting an arrangement lor peacd and has not yet come to a consideration of details of any plan. Some Who j have visited the president-elect, how? ever, state that he apparently does j not contemplate absolute discard of the treaty of Versailles', but is con? sidering incorporation of certain fea I tares, at least, developing in .his pej ! poHey. Among the expedients SAi to he under consideration, at Marion is adoption cd a ra w* set of refeerva limts removing all rjuostions of Atner ican obligation and expressing mere? ly American ailherer.ee to principlvS [ believed helpful toward preventing I war. Establishment of a world court and [ development of a new code of inter? national law and procedure are other 1 features of Senator Hardlng's thought, according to word brought here from ; the Marion conference. Difficulties ? of establishing a woFld court cr sub? s', ituiing some such plan for the league of nations, however, are n^infc" discussed privately among senators. INGENIOUS DEVICE TO MAKE WHISKEY Anderson, Dec. 22.?A most unusual whiskeV outtlt was found by officers Tuesday near a gin on the William? ston road. The s.?i was constructed near a big Steam engine, and the steam from the engine distilled j the whiskey. Another plant was locai* in a 16 foot hole with a pipe leading from the boiler to the surface of the ground. The engine was one that had 1 been used in sawing, for there was a saw mill near, but the ingenious boose makers taking advantage of this and using the power instead of the old fashioned still. The steam from the engine was forced through a row of barrels, and out through a pipe in the last barrel that was kept In cool water. In the I foot dugout, a small boil? er was made by fastening sheet iron around barrel stops, and leaving rones enough for a fire to be built under m atb. a pipe connection furnishing the steam to the distillers above. The outfits were destroyed, and the engine will be seised and brought to the eily. This Is the same place that 800 gal lons of hc? r was found last spring and destroyed by officers. The oth cers say that there had been a run made shortly before they got there Tuesday, as a*hen a pile of sawdust was dug into steam began rising;, showing that hot ? mash had been buried there. \ stripped automobile and live gul lon keg of whiskey was another tind of officers Tuesday night. The whis? key was in a sack and w as al out the only thing to the ear. except the wheels and engine. The driver of the car made oft and the officers failed to gel him as he matched his ear in speed. The Keg held original* ly rue gallons* but soms nf the oon tents had evidently been handed out and only about three gallons cd" juice left.
